Re: [ga] List of Domain Names

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

Debbie,

Did you think this through?  Assume something really much smaller than it is. 
10 TLD(cc's too) Xs 24 hrs a day Xs 20 registered per hour + 20 expired or 
transferred per hour. Now include IDNs. Now assume they all compete. Now assume 
200 jurisdictions. Now assume ten percent error. Now assume 5 percent 
shannanigans. Now assume 4 court/judicial orders per hour-effecting such.  And 
start the whole thing off by assuming 2 million to start with.

Obviously Verising/NetSol group is huge along with GoDaddy,, and yet some 
countries are literally manual,, but actually UK and CN dwarf the above numbers 
all by themselves. Just in those two you have well over 300 counties/provences 
that could effect registration.

So counting trees in this forest would be like painting the Golden Gate Bridge 
or counting Square board inch in a 10 hectare bamboo farm.
Particulars are astoundingly irrelevant to the mass. When we deal here with 
individual cases, we must assume a bochuliszm type importance, -- that one 
millionth of a grain could infect a whole population.

Subject: [ga] List of Domain Names


Hi

I was doing some research a while back and I seem to remember coming across
several registries that offer the ability to download a list of all current
domain names for their registry.  Does anyone know whether this is a
requirement from each registry or, indeed, whether there is one place that
holds all current domain names that is downloadable?

Thanks in anticipation
